wget
curl
ftp/ncftp/lftp/etc..
the different scripting languages can all do networking.. php, python, perl, etc..

you can even do it in pure bash.. like this:
exec 3 /dev/tcp/127.0.0.1/80
echo “GET /index.html HTTP/1.0″ 1>&3
echo 1>&3
while read 0<&3; do echo $REPLY; done

so only removing wget is just plugging one small hole in your very leaky bucket..
